Answering reporters’ questions regarding the current situation of Vietnamese people in Ukraine on Friday, Hang said that following directions by the Party, State, Government and the Prime Minister, relevant agencies at home and abroad have actively applied measures to ensure the safety of Vietnamese people in Ukraine.

As of Thursday, Vietnam had operated five flights to bring home 1,385 Vietnamese who fled Ukraine to Romania and Poland, she said.

She cited information from the Vietnamese Embassy in Ukraine that as of Thursday, more than 300 Vietnamese people in Ukraine had still stayed in Donestk, Lugan, Chernigov, Kherson, Kharkov and Odessa. Most of them have lived and worked in the cities for a long time and have jobs, houses and property in Ukraine. They have no intention of leaving the cities to neighboring countries or returning to Vietnam, she said.
